Quotes

• “I can’t do it, Joachim. I wouldn’t be able to live with myself. A long leash is still a leash. And Coransee will still be at the other end of it, holding on.”
• ““I’ll tell you,” she said softly. “But you won’t like it.”He looked away from her. “I asked for the truth. Whether I like it or not, I have to know.””
• “He showed me his fantastic library first, and that helped me warm to him a little. A guy with a room like that in his house couldn’t be all bad.”
• “A pet. In pets, free will was tolerated only as long as the pet owner found it amusing.”
• “Margaret Weylin complained because she couldn’t find anything to complain about.”
• ““He’s a fair man.”I looked at him, startled.“I said fair,” he repeated. “Not likable.”I kept quiet. His father wasn’t the monster he could have been with the power he held over his slaves. He wasn’t a monster at all. Just an ordinary man who sometimes did the monstrous things his society said were legal and proper.”
